Anthony Davis addressed his future Monday during the Washington Wizards\u2019 Media Day, saying he expects to play the entire 2026-27 season before making a decision on what comes next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Davis has a $62.8 million player option for the 2027-28 season<\/strong> and will decide after this season whether to exercise it or enter unrestricted free agency next summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhen the season is over. I\u2019m going to go through the season, and kind of do what I do at a high level, and then, when it\u2019s over, you know, sit down and have those key conversations again with the front office.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Davis is eligible for a contract extension, but according to The Athletic<\/em>, Davis and the Wizards agreed not to discuss one during the summer, instead waiting until after the season begins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Following his trade from Dallas in February, Davis said he wanted to evaluate Washington\u2019s progress toward becoming a legitimate contender before making a long-term commitment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Davis pointed to several moves as reasons for optimism about the Wizards\u2019 future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Washington won the NBA Draft Lottery in May and selected AJ Dybantsa<\/strong> with the No. 1 overall pick. The Wizards also added veteran talent through their moves for Khris Middleton<\/strong> and Deandre Ayton<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Davis will now evaluate the team\u2019s progress throughout the season before deciding on his next move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A theoretical option remains a four-year, $275 million maximum extension<\/strong> through the 2030-31 season, although his age, Washington\u2019s young core and his injury history could factor into the eventual decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Wizards also committed four years and $212.8 million<\/strong> to point guard Trae Young<\/strong> in an extension this offseason.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Anthony Davis plans to play out the 2026-27 season with the Washington Wizards before deciding on his long-term future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":145,"featured_media":535573,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_spbk_hide_featured":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[399],"tags":[],"rumors":[175],"typology":[183],"posizionamento":[],"class_list":["post-535572","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nba","rumors-nba-rumors","typology-rumors"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/09\/Antony-Davis-FIBA.webp","digistream_id":0,"digistream":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/535572","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/145"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=535572"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/535572\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":535582,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/535572\/revisions\/535582"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/535573"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=535572"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=535572"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=535572"},{"taxonomy":"rumors","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rumors?post=535572"},{"taxonomy":"typology","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/typology?post=535572"},{"taxonomy":"posizionamento","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posizionamento?post=535572"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}\n
